When the Texans were evaluating the cornerback class a year ago, University of Washington cornerback Marcus Peters was among the players that visited their training complex prior to the draft.
Peters went on to become the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and was named to the Pro Bowl.
In his first NFL game and career snap, Peters intercepted Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer. In his second game, Peters intercepted Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and returned it for a touchdown.
Peters finished with eight interceptions, tying Reggie Nelson for the most in the NFL with two returned for touchdowns, one forced fumble and 26 passes defended.
